i?v(M(-t fa mtv of a letter from Major-
x. M. Ftaser, to the Right
Hon. Vra. Wwdfeam, dated! Aiexan
diia, Apr;l 6, 1307 transmitted to him
by Gen. Fox, tile original not having
been received ; ,
Sir, My better of the 27th ult,
has already informed you, that in
coi sequence of the strong represen
tations of Major Misset, his Majesty's
resident here (a copy of whicltT then
transmitted) stating the risk that Al
exandria runpf being starved, unless
Roselta and Rahrnanie wre taken
possession cf by his Majesty s troops,
I bad, with the concurrence of Rear
Admiral Sir John Duckworth, de
tached the 31st regiment and chas
seurs Sritaniques, under Major-Ge-neral
Wancbope Sc lirigadiei-Gene
ral Mende, for that purpose.
I am now under the disagrpeable
contrary to ali txpectatton thr mea
sure did nut-succeed. Our iroopt
tcok possession f the heightsj of A
bcurmander (which command the
town) without any loSs ; ibut,f from
circumstances as yet unexplained,
the General, . instead of keeping
his post there, unfortunately was
tempted to go into town with his
whole force, without any priaus
earninaiion of itj when the troops
were so severely handled from i the
windows and tops of the hou3eSj with
out ever seeing their enemy, that it
was thought expedient to retire ;'
more especially as Mojor-Gtneral
Wauchope was unfortunately killed,
.and the second in commandfBriga
Slier-General Meade, badly wottoded.
The troops, I understand, although
certainly placed in a most trying and
perilous situation, behaved extremely
; and eftcr having suff rcd, I am
sorry to say, very materially in kill
ed ar.d wounded, retired to Aboukir
in good order, without molestation,
from whence I directed them to re
turn to Alexandria.
This certainly; has been a very'
heavy and unexpected stroke upon
Ms, more especially as eVeiy infoi
mation led me to conclude that tin
opposition, if any, would be trifling ;
and every pi ecatilio was recoin
ntendedthat prudence could suggest.

Extract cf a dispatch from Major-Genera I
i'razer to th- lit.. Hon. H . Fox, dated
on ocaid his Majesty's ship Cancpus,
Aboukir Bay, April 24, 1807.
I have the mortification: to acquaint
yu, that the second attempt I tho't
necessary to make agairist Rusetta,
has J.uled, oving to a great rein
lorcement of the enemy j being sent
down the Nile from Cairo, whir!,
Qvct powered our troops, and obliged
them to fall back with the loss (I'am
grieved to say) of nearly. 1000 men
killed, vpded and missing.. Anwng

Major Vogelsang and Major Mohr,
Kng. Gen. Stuart, who commanded
Uio troonR on thrs or'vir-. ;
now upon his march towards Alex
andria to the remainder of his force,
and has not yet sent me the details ;
but as the Admiral thinks it neces
sary to dispatch the WiLard brig im
mediately from this bay to Messina,
I think it necessary to give you all
the information I am at present in
possess-on of, and shall send you the
particulars of "this unfortunate affair
by his Majesty's ship lhunderer,
which will lsjve Alexandria very
soon ; and as I have nt time to ac
quaint hisJVlajesty's Ministers of this
event by this opportunity, I must
request you to have the goodness to
do it as soon possible.

Destruction of the Dutch Shipping
at Batavia,
From the private journal ofCapt
Vicary, from Butavia, that the Bata-
ian frieate Maria Reygersburg, ol
44 guns had been taken by Sir Ed-
ward tellcv s squaurcn. me ex
tent of the destruction of the ship
ping may be judged from the follow
ing extract.
The following vessels were burnt
near the batteries, viz.
Frieate Phoenix, 32 guns ; brig
Adventurer (Adventurer) 20 ditto ;
Zeaplong (Seaflower) 14 do. Slates
Vessels.
Frigate Amesteyn,force unknown;
ship.Patriot, 18 guns ; brig Ceres
force unknown ; Company's ships.
Brig Snelheyd (Swift) force un
known.
Ship Daugdzocmhayd (Probity)
force unknown : East Indian, dipo ;
ZuiderPole (South Pole) Piussian,
ditto ; .Private ships.
And four or five at least whose
names are unknown.
Oil the east side of the bay .were
burnt the Andromeda, and Debora,
the two finest ships in Java, both of
which helt iig te the Governor of Sa
mara, and another large ship, the
name unknown. During the engage
ment, some of the American vessels
were obliged to slip their cables and
run out to keep clear of the shot,
which flew thick abcut them.
During night, the ky was awfully
illuminated by the blaze of 18 large
ships ; and the blowing up of several
of them when the fire reached their
magazines added to the grandeur oi
the scene. Jvo one could behold the
destruction of so many fine ships,
without lamenting the evils insepara
ble from war, and particularly re
gretting that so large a portion of the
misfortune bhould fall to the lot of
private persons, most of whom were
probably opposed to the principles
and ; actions which nr3t occasioned
hostilities

ments of infantry of the German le

is under the command of Gen. Dreck
sel. A second embarkation will take
place in a day or two.
The Vienna court gazette draws
a very different picture of the state
of allairsin Turkeyfrom the French
and Dutch paper;? The blockade of
the Dardanelles' and of the canal of
Constantinople has reduced the ca
pital to great distress. The Captain
Pacha seems unwilling tOquit the
security of the sea of Marrftbra, and
ihe Turkish squadron which entered
into the Blnck Sea, h:is been driven
oat of it by the Russians.-' General
Michelson's position remained nearly
the same'. lie lias not evacuated
Moldavia and Wallachia, and has
lately received considerable rein
forcements. It is reported that a change has
taken place in the tlussian Ministry:
thst Baron Budberg has resigned,
and M. Novozihzoff received the
portfolio of foreign affairs, and that
Count Uomanzow has been succeed
ed by Count Sirognoff, in the com
rrerciaf department. The latter not
long since left this country, and his
appointment will, it i supposed, be
extremely favorable to this country
) Holland is at present strangely si-
an
invasion, and she is -ivithout. a chief
magistrate. Louis Bonaparte, ac
cordirvg to private letters from Hoi
land has abdicated the throne in
consequence of a misunderstanding
with his brother. His conduct, tho'
grateful to the people because it fa
vored their commerce, displeased
Napoleon. The wish of the latter
is to dhtres3 the British trade I y all
possible means. Dtn s he ruin his
ally or his dependent by carrying
his wishes in,td executiowthis is to
him a matter of indiiference. Pri
vate letters stute, that as soon as
Louis Bonaparte was placed upon
the throne, he saw the danger which
his brother's system was bringing
upon the country ; the .people ap
proached with representations of their
common distress, and implored him,
iO abrogate that prohibitory com
mercial system, which, by cutting
offforeigncomtnunicatioh; intercept
ed all foreign demand, and thus ruin-
d a country which could only sup
port itself by means of its richer
neighbors, .
Louis Bonaparte appears to have
been moved by the scene of distress
before him : the system was par-
ially abrogated, and the communi
cation opened between England and
Holland, through the indirect me-
lium of neutrals. Il ls stated, that
these indulgences prov k d the in
dignation of the Emperor Napoleon.
The first of it experienced ot ihe
King o: Holland, was the desertion of
':i wife, the daughter of the French
EmprtS3 ; who, after some, unsuc-
v.-ssful intrigues wi hdrew frornher
husband to her mother.
L. Bonaparte, wearied with these
intrigues, and having in vain solicit
ted permission to retire, has at last
abdicated the throne, and withdrawn
himself to Italy. The Dutch pro
vinces are in consequence in the
greatest confusion : they have im
plored the return of Louis , u That
Monarch whom they have known
iung enough to love, and whose re
treat will renew that state of confu
sion and distress, from which his
moderation and princely humanity
hud but began relieve them."
Such are the statements which
piivate letters have brought Louis
Bonaparte is the best cf his family ;
no very great compliment this, our
readers may thinkHis character is
mild and humane ; it has all thost
softer qualities which his brother
wants, without any of those strong
traits which his brother possesses
he is affable in his manners, unos
tentatious in his living, wishing to
make the people love rather than
fear him. It was with creat reluc:
tance he ascended the throne, and he
has been often heard to say, that he
wished his brother would have suf
fered him to remain his subject.
This disagreement between thedbro
thers will increase the disscntion
which has always prevailed in the
Bonaparte family ';Lu'ci?n and Louis
have ever been the greatest favour
ites. Napoleon, from the impatience
and violence of his temper, was ne
ver loved Joseph preserved the si
tuation of mediator in the family.
Auo'h r source of disagreement is
the Marked preference which Napo
leon has always shewn to his wife's
family the Beauharnois. The ru
mour of the separation of Louis Bo
naparte and his wife, who is one of
Madame Bonaparte's daughters, will
inflame jthe hatred of both branches.
Letters have been received from
the fleet under Vice-Admiral Lord
Collingwood, off Cadiz, dated about
15 days since, all of which agree that
the combined squadron j about 12 or
1 3 sail of the line, are ready for sea,
and it is supposed if our fleet were
ny accident driven off their station,
1 hey would endeavour to make a
grand push out to get through the
Gut of 'Gibraltar j and endeavour to
